Accountable.US is a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit watchdog that conducts investigative research and public advocacy to expose corporate influence, conflicts of interest, and what it describes as corrosive special‑interest power in government and the private sector. The organization says its mission is to hold corporations, wealthy funders, and public officials accountable to strengthen democracy, protect consumers and the environment, and advance economic fairness.
Focuses on corporate accountability and consumer protection, campaign finance and dark‑money transparency, democracy and voting rights, scrutiny of judicial nominations and conservative policy networks, environmental and energy policy oversight, and related regulatory and governance issues.
Primarily funded through foundation and philanthropic grants and individual donations; the organization was initially run as a project of New Venture Fund (Arabella Advisors network) and has received support via progressive donor networks and allied nonprofit structures.
Has organizational ties and historical project relationships with New Venture Fund/Arabella Advisors, Sixteen Thirty Fund, Restore Public Trust, Allied Progress and Western Values Project; senior leaders associated with the group have included Caroline Ciccone, Kyle Herrig, Tony Carrk, and Derek Martin.
